Impact and adoption of conservation agriculture in Africa: a multi-scale and multi-stakeholder analysis
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is increasingly promoted in Africa as an alternative for coping with the need to increase food production on the basis of more sustainable farming practices. CA is specifically seen as a way ...
Modeling soil salinity levels on yield of eggplant, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce in Abu Dhabi
Soil salinity is a major problem affecting crop productivity and quality in irrigated vegetable production under protected and non-protected production systems in many countries. Negative impacts of soil salinity is ...
Computing Biometrics at ICARDA, Volume I
Biometric consultations often lead to the exploration of secretes of data using a number of computing biometric tools. During the course of scientist-biometrician interactive sessions, a number of computing biometric modules ...
Measuring and modeling the effects of drainage water management on soil greenhouse gas fluxes from corn and soybean fields
Controlled tile drainage can boost crop yields and improve water quality, but it also has the potential to
increase GHG emissions. This study compared in-situ chamber-based measures of soil CH4, N2O, and CO2
fluxes for ...
Water productivity and yield analysis of groundnut using CropSyst simulation model in hyper arid partially irrigated zone of Rajasthan
CropSyst is one of the most important process-oriented simulation models largely used for field crops all over the world to study the effect of climate, soil and management practices on crop productivity. In the present ...
Soil-Landscape Modeling and Remote Sensing to Provide Spatial Representation of Soil Attributes for an Ethiopian Watershed
Information about the spatial distribution of soil properties is necessary for natural resources modeling; however, the cost of soil surveys limits the development of high-resolution soil maps. The objective of this study ...
Modeling of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) inflorescence architecture, example of three Tunisian cultivars
The present study was carried out to verify the statistical relationships between the characteristic parameters in terms of vegetative aerial architecture of the date palms for simulating realistic 3D models. The vegetal ...
Socio-ecological System Models for Supporting Farm Resilience: Research Needs, Gaps and Promising Approaches
It is important to increase the resilience of food production systems in the face of a changing climate, land scarcity, and changing demographics and market conditions. As farm resilience is a high-level system property ...
Modeling the soil-water-crop-atmosphere system to improve crop and water productivity of IGNP Stage II
Modeling the soil-water-crop-atmosphere system to improve crop and water productivity of IGNP Stage II
Decision making and planning in agriculture by calibrating, validating and scenario simulating the crop model (DSSAT) : Progress Annual Report
Decision making and planning in agriculture by calibrating, validating and scenario simulating the crop model (DSSAT) according to rainfed climate sub activity annual progress report of the CRP Dryland System "Improving ...
